[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] net/ixgbe: do not start on unsupported loopback mode

[Julien Meunier <julien.meunier@nokia.com>]

Only TX->RX loopback is supported currently on 82599EB. If a user wants
to apply an another loopback configuration (!= IXGBE_LPBK_82599_TX_RX),
ixgbe PMD ignores it and continues the configuration without raising any
error.

Let's robustify this part by checking if the requested loopback mode is
correct for the current device, before starting it. If it is not valid,
PMD will refuse to start.

v2:
- factorize code
- check if loopback is really supported
